Why this home stands out
What sets 110 Maupin Ave apart is its unbeatable proximity to two major installations — Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are both within six minutes — without the premium price tag that comes with newer construction. The 1950s build means solid bones, a compact and efficient floor plan, and a lot that fits comfortably into an established residential block where neighbors have been putting down roots for decades.
HIGHLAND BILTMORE and the Portsmouth real estate market
Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities, and the area around Maupin Ave reflects that character well. You're in the southern residential fabric of Portsmouth — a city that sits directly across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk and has its own distinct identity built around the shipyard, the waterfront, and tight-knit neighborhoods where mid-century homes line streets shaded by mature trees. The broader Portsmouth community is known for its authenticity: no cookie-cutter subdivisions here, just real neighborhoods with real history. Olde Towne Portsmouth, one of the largest collections of 18th- and 19th-century architecture on the East Coast, is just a short drive north and gives the whole city an architectural backbone that newer suburbs simply can't replicate. City Hall, the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center, and the working waterfront are all woven into the urban landscape, making Portsmouth feel alive and purposeful rather than purely residential.
What's nearby
Daily errands from 110 Maupin Ave are straightforward. Grocery options, pharmacies, and fast-casual dining are within a few miles along the main commercial corridors of Portsmouth. The Elizabeth River Trail system connects pedestrians and cyclists to waterfront greenspace, and the Downtown Portsmouth waterfront — with its ferry landing, restaurants, and public park — is a quick trip north. Norfolk's broader amenities, including Waterside District and the medical district, are accessible via the Downtown Tunnel or the Passenger Ferry, keeping you well-connected without a long commute.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
For military families, 110 Maupin Ave is about as well-positioned as it gets. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is five minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is six — meaning short commutes, more time at home, and less fuel burned on base days.

For first-time buyers

Three bedrooms and two full baths in 1,095 square feet is a practical, livable layout — not too much to maintain, but enough space to grow into. The 1950 build means the major structural work has long since settled, and the location near Norfolk Naval Shipyard makes it a smart choice if you're tied to the military employment corridor.
